Swimming with Sharks

This watercolor painting as the illustration for Swimming with Sharks, a children's book written by Weig C. George, and published by HarperCollins Publishers in Summer, 1999.

Sarah found a hammerhead shark without fins, laying at the bed of bottom of the ocean, dead.

I got lots of reference materials on sharks from the writer and public libraries.

Book Summary: ...Until she began to take notice of the unusual-looking fish that visited her grandparents' dock every day.
